An [Acronym] for __N__etwork __T__ime __P__rotocol. A method for synchronising a computer's internal clock (and system time) with an external source, such as a computer with a more accurate clock. Machines that are synchronised with an atomic clock or [GPS] are stratum 1. Machines that synchronise to these machines are stratum 2, and so on. Normally stratum 1 machines aren't available for public connections. Here are some ntp servers in NewZealand that you can synchronise against: # truechimer.waikato.ac.nz (stratum 2?) # ntp.massey.ac.nz (stratum 2) and others you can find on pages such as http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html.
